![]() The Australian edition of Kotaku is focused on taking all this fantastic news and crafting it into a tasty treat for all you Aussies and Kiwis. Whether it’s the latest info on a new game, or hot gossip on the industry’s movers, shakers and smashers, you’ll find it all here and nicely packaged at Kotaku. They’d be one in the same in every lexicon on the planet if it were humanly possible. It does seem as if the time to fix GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas has run out and Rockstar is ready to move on. Not to mention that Rockstar has plans to release these games on the Epic Store later this month, too. Instead, it seems this is as good as things are going to get. While some hold out hope that Rockstar will still swoop in, patch these games up and fix all the visual bugs and other problems, that seems more unlikely after today. There aren’t many reviews up for any of the classic GTA games in the collection, but early reviews are filled with people complaining about bugs or that the games don’t run well at all on the Steam Deck. On Twitter, in response to Rockstar’s tweet announcing the Steam ports, you can find a lot of angry and confused players, unsure why this took so long, why it is still broken, and why Rockstar thinks this is ok. Naturally, players aren’t happy about this. Kotaku has reached out to Rockstar about any future updates to the remastered GTA trilogy. But it still seems pretty audacious to ask people to buy something that has been so consistently reported as broken, buggy, and bad for the last two years and not even offer any kind of small patch to improve things at all. To be fair, GTA: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition is currently on sale on Steam as part of a larger Rockstar Games deal, so you’re only paying $US30 ($42) for three games. Instead, these are the same broken and buggy games that haven’t received any kind of update at all since the tiny performance update in October 2022 that didn’t fix anything. But while that’s a sensible thought to have, that’s not actually the case. ![]() You might be thinking that, after such a long wait between the initial release on PC via the Rockstar Launcher and today’s Steam launch, Rockstar has put out a new, big patch to further improve the collection. Released earlier today, the remastered GTA Trilogy is now out on Steam. Get it on sale through February 2 as part of our Rockstar Games Publisher Sale: /n1T7MlNXcD Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is now available to purchase on Steam and Playable on Steam Deck. So it doesn’t seem like the best time to release it on a new platform and yet, here we are. Since then, the remastered trilogy has remained in a fairly rough state. But the last major update for the game was in February 2022. Eventually, Rockstar and Grove Street Games did fix some of the problems players had cataloged online. Rockstar ultimately had to apologise to the community because the remasters were so awful. The community tried to fix some of this, but many modders decided not to help after Rockstar spent the past few months before launch going after PC mods and fan ports of old GTA games. And while they could look nice - especially in some of the urban areas at night - they were bug-riddled disasters filled with all sorts of odd visual glitches and mistakes. A few months after we first reported that Rockstar was planning to remaster Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, and San Andreas, the games launched across PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC via Rockstar’s own store. It has been removed from the PC store.Let’s rewind a bit to November 2021. Grand Theft Auto: Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is now available for Xbox One, Xbox Series, Switch, PS4, and PS5. How Take-Two and Rockstar let this happen boggles the mind. It hurts, even more, considering that Grand Theft Auto: Trilogy - The Definitive Edition contains some of the most beloved and ground-breaking games in entertainment. All that was shown was comparison footage which when compared to actual gameplay when the game went public is night and day. The writing was on the wall as Rockstar Games refused to ship review copies and even did not show any gameplay footage. ![]() Graphical issues and characters' animations have been distorted to the point of creating monsters that would make creatures from The Evil Within and Resident Evil shake with fear. In short, Grand Theft Auto: Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is in every way a worse version than the original games. You've probably seen the videos and images all over the internet. It was so bad that Rockstar has taken the Rockstar Games Launcher on PC offline and Grand Theft Auto: Trilogy - The Definitive Edition along with it. Grand Theft Auto: Trilogy - The Definitive Edition has become one of the worst examples of remastering a game.
